Abhishek Daga brings 17 years of experience working with Oracle applications to his new role as the Conversions Lead on the Finance Strategic Transformation (FST) project. Daga is new to working on a higher education project, but he has collaborated with global clients on at least 17 large projects during his career. That vast breadth of experience will serve him well in his new FST role.
On why he was drawn to the role, Daga says, “I think it’s a very interesting project—we are migrating from Oracle EBS to Workday Financials. I have worked on a lot of Oracle implementation projects, but I’ve never worked on migrating out of Oracle into Workday Financials and that is really what I am interested in learning from in this project.”
As the Conversion Lead, Daga is part of the project’s Technical workstream. He’ll partner with Technical team colleagues and stakeholders during the course of the project. Since joining the team late last month, Daga has gathered knowledge about UVA and FST, met a lot of people, and developed a greater understanding of the project’s scope. While he will still continue to settle in during the next several weeks, he states he has felt supported in getting acclimated.

Outside of work, Daga loves spending time with his spouse and two children—two sons, ages 1 and 4. He also enjoys hiking trails on weekends and has a passion for a specific racket sport.
“I love badminton,” Daga says. “So I try to make space to play badminton twice or thrice a week.”
Playing is a workout, but Daga’s main drive to play is his enjoyment of badminton.
